Some companies you only hear about after they IPO.
And some…
Eventual unicorns like Uber, Airbnb and OpenAI…
Forced the world to pay attention long before that.
Mode Mobile could be a new member to that second group.
Uber turned cars into taxis, Airbnb turned homes into hotels, and Mode Mobile is turning smartphones into EarnPhones.
With $115M+ in revenue, 3-year growth of 32,481%, and an ecosystem with more than 490M+ users, it’s what investors call a “category disruptor.”
The kind that could turn early capital into generational wealth.
They’re raising privately.
For now.
But investors can get $0.52 pre-IPO shares before their share price changes on August 14.
With a Nasdaq ticker ($MODE) secured, and early backers like Kevin Harrington from Shark Tank, the company has its eyes on potentially going public.
Their previous two raises sold out, and this one is on track to do the same.
⏰Review the offer before August 14.

Today’s Key Points
|
|
Riot Platforms (NASDAQ: RIOT) announced the largest contract in its history Monday evening: a 20-year lease worth $9.1 billion, with a tenant Bloomberg identified as Anthropic. The stock jumped more than 25% in after-hours trading. It opened Tuesday at $23.57 and touched $23.66 in the first minutes — a gain of more than 21% on Monday's $19.40 close.
By midday it had traded at $19.34, below where it closed Monday. It finished the session at $20.24, up 4.33%, on 75.6 million shares — roughly four times its recent average volume.
The entire $9.1 billion, in other words, was worth roughly nothing for a stretch of Tuesday afternoon. That is the most interesting thing that happened in this market on Tuesday, and it has almost nothing to do with Anthropic.

A 70-gigawatt backlog and a four-year wait — Thirty minutes before this issue reached your inbox, the government released July's inflation report — the number we told you on Monday would referee the fight between a Fed talking about rate hikes and a labor market that just lost 23,000 jobs. |
